- European Charm GO
The trip was a lot of fun! I got to see a lot of beautiful sights and the hotels were pretty nice! The guides were also great! Very informative and entertaining! There were some tiny communication mishaps, but they were all resolved quickly.

The cruise was good except for they would not let us off the ship at Krems and Melk. The brochure said we could enjoy the sights at those places, but we had to stay on the ship the whole day while the few people who paid for an excursion could get off. That represents false advertising on your advertisement. Very unhappy and I will let other people know on the ratings.

We've used Collette now for over 20 years. I have never been disappointed in any of my trips with them. We had planned to go to Italy and South Africa in 2020. Due to Covid-19 both of these trips were cancelled. Collette REFUNDED 100% of our money, they even refunded the insurance! This is unheard of in most of the travel industry. THANK YOU, Collette for taking care of us through the years and also for doing the "right" things always! Collette is the best!
